NEWBURGH The Sensation in Red Raspberries 
BIG - - BRIGHT RED - - HEAVY CROPPER - ■ EXCELLENT SHIPPER 
All Eyes are on Newburgh! 
Preliminary Trials and Tests 
are Proving Its Worth 
The Fruit Testing Association Says: 
“NEWBURGH is the most promising variety in the station col¬ 
lection. The fruit is very large, very firm, and does not crumble. The 
color is a bright, attractive red; in keeping and shipping quality it has 
no superior. The plants are vigorous, hardy, and very productive. 
The weight of the fruit is so great that the canes are often 
bent to the ground. The fruit is borne out in the open where 
it may be readily picked. Mosaic has not appeared in the 
stock of Newburgh. In season it is three or four days earlier 
than Cuthbert. In bush and fruit, this is the best Red Rasp¬ 
berry under cultivation.”

MASSACHUSETTS EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 
293, p. 52, March, 1933, states: “Newburgh has shown no mosaic 
as yet, though other varieties located nearby have suffered more or 
less severely. It is vigorous, a good plant maker, and a heavy pro¬ 
ducer in midseason of large firm berries of good quality. It is very 
promising.” 
CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST, Fruit and Truck Edition, 
p. 84, April, 1933, says: “Of the several very recent introductions, 
only one has struck us as of real value, namely, Newburgh. This 
variety comes from New York and has all the earmarks of a winner. 
The cane is vigorous and productive, and the size of fruit is very 
large, being among the largest of any variety we have seen.” 
BULLETIN 528, OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT 
STATION, September, 193 3, states about Newburgh, “Limited test 
seems to indicate a good deal of promise for more extensive plant¬ 
ing. Fruit large and less crumbly than Latham. The firmness of berry 
is a prime feature for commercial purposes. Ripens about with 
Latham or a few days earlier. Plants thrifty; comparatively free from 
disease.” 
Prof. Geo. L. Slate and Dr. W. H. Rankin, of the 
New York Experiment Station, on Jan. 17, 1934, write: 
“The NEWBURGH RASPBERRY has proved itself an 
outstanding variety for central and western New York. Ex¬ 
cellent reports regarding its behavier have also been received 
from Ontario and as far north as Montreal, Quebec. The 
indications are that it may not be satisfactory in the south¬ 
ern portions of the Raspberry growing regions of the coun¬ 
try. The berries are very large, in fact, larger than those of 
any other sort. The size holds up very well throughout a long 
picking season. The very firm, rather dry texture and free¬ 
dom from crumbling makes Newburgh an excellent shipping 
and general market variety. The berries are lighter than 
Latham in color, slightly coarse in appearance, and a little 
better than Latham in quality. At Geneva its season is 
with Chief, or about five days earlier than Latham. The 
plants are vigorous, increase rapidly, do not grow as tall 
as other sorts, but bear very heavily in spite of shorter 
cane growth. The fruit is borne on the outside of the 
plant, thus facilitating picking. Because of the heavy 
weight of the crop, and not because of weak canes, New¬ 
burgh will probably need support. The canes branch 
more freely than those of other sorts, especially when 
the plants are young. 
“During the ten years that this variety has been grown 
and multiplied at Geneva, no mosaic has appeared in the 
plats. Also in a block of over 100 seedlings held for five 
years with both mosaics abundantly present, no infection 
occured in Newburgh. Two growers who have had this 
variety for five years alongside diseased berries have 
had no spread of mosaic into Newburgh. The prospects 
are that this variety will escape mosaic infection to a 
much greater degree than other existing commercial 
varieties.” 
Yours very truly, 
CHAS. L. TODD, a veteran fruit grower, Otsego County, New 
York, writes us: “I have had the Newburgh Red Raspberry now 
three seasons, two in bearing. It is a heavy yielder of better color 
and quality than Latham and I think larger berry and better keeper. 
“I picked over about 2 acres of it this year from canes of only 
1 year’s growth, and it ran a hundred crates per acre—never had 
anything like it before on a new 1-year field.” 
RICHARD V. LOTT, formerly ASSOCIATE HORTICUL¬ 
TURIST, COLORADO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE and Ex¬ 
periment Station, Fort Collins, Colorado, wrote: “The Newburgh 
appears to be one of the very best sorts which I have growing 
here.”
